I've been wanting this since it came out. So what I am going to do is.... go to bed. When I wake up and still want this (I have the Samsung Tab) I will take the plunge. I hope there are some worthy reviews from people who have this. Good night!!!

Could somebody from Woot confirm if this accepts MicroSD (or MicroSDHC) up to 64GB? That would make this a screaming deal for me, if it is the case...

I am typing this on the Samsung 10.1 Note I got on woot! last year. I love this thing!

Yes it takes MicroSD. The stylus functions are awesome. USB 2 via the charging cable works great BUT NOT with Macs. It hates my Mac SO MUCH. But transferring files from my PC is a snap including ripped DVDs to the MicroSD cards for long flights.

The speakers are surprisingly good, and as far as I know, this wifi only and not for carriers like Verizon and Sprint, etc.

Also, lastly, reading comic books on this thing is a great experience as is Hulu and Netflix and Google Play viseos. Btw, the battery life is great and fully charges in about an hour or so with the tablet off.

Lastly, lastly, I've written 20 page research paper drafts on this thing because of its easy multitasking (suck it iPad!) between Evernote and a browser and Skitch. Can't say enough good things about it.

I have a 64Gb card in mine and it works no problem at all but the trick is to get the right one since some folks have had issues with them. Heres the exact one I used.

I've been really considering the Samsung tablets, and especially the note since it has the stylus, can someone tell me something though, with android apps, if you aren't running the most recent build do you get left behind? (like crashing and other issues) Because even though this is last years model the processor is pretty good

Android does not have a problem with past model compatibility. Almost all apps that are available now have all been written to be compatible back to version 2.3. This Tab should have no problems.

I use an HP Touchpad to run Android and never see issues with apps crashing due to hardware OR software compatibility.

yes it takes a micro 64 gig card, I have the sandisk version in mine as I type this for you all!
I personally have not read of any 64gig cards it does not take, but again I but the class 10 sandisk cards so..

This device is very quick, it has the 2 gig ram you, all need and 16 gig is a minimum storage, I have the 32 gig version. You will not need 32 gig unless you play lots of big games. I do like to have it anyway tho, just checked now and I have 12 gig free, now this is internal not your sd card!

if you dont mind rooting the device as I did mine then you can use an app called "gl to sd" in the play store to move big games to your sd card, I have ised it on my phone and it works with most big games.

The case this comes with is very nice and thin, the down side to it is its thin and not that protected when dropped so if you tend to drop your gadgets get some other case that has protection, it will add bulk but at least its protected!

I have a usb adapter for it that I purchased off amazon that reads and writes fat 32 and ntfs, but only ntfs with root and this app "USB OTG HELPER".

Now there are a bunch of file managers that allow you to tranfer files thu wifi so look into that instead of direct connect, much easier.

now I also have the 8" and 10.1"note by samsung, bothe are great but prefer the larger.

Yes they have a new 10.1 2014 edition but get this one now then next year by that one at this same price and you have 2 for just about the same as the new one now! or wait longer and get a future one, I am not saying this is a bad purchase at all, just saying for those who have to have the latest and greatest and cant swing the extra money.

speakers on this is perfect in the front, this is one major design this older version has over the new 2014 edition, I still cant believe samsung moved the speakers on the new 2014 edition, I dont even want one just cause of that!

I purchased a dock for some older samsung 7" device that works great for hdmi and to supply power to the tab at once, off ebay for something like $10, and I also have the samsung allshare cast device and both methods work great! on getting everything you do on your device to the screen!

Oh one last thing for now, buy printer share in the app store, between that and google print you cant print anywhere (directly to most newer printers).

Yes, take Micro not standard sd. Mine has 64 no prob. As far as hdmi, they sell an adapter to take the charging/data port to hdmi out pretty cheap. Also sell an adapter to take that port to female usb. I recently bought the white version of this on amazon after much review. Am very satisfied.

Once you break down and buy one you may be wondering about how to do cool things with S Note - the included notes app - such as how to annotate PDF files, how to change the appearance of the pen, how to resize drawings within your notes, etc. This web site , with videos filmed by a college student using the Note in class to keep up with Organic Chemistry lectures, has lots of good tips and tricks.

I am a college teacher and use mine daily for keeping up with lecture notes, PowerPoints and meeting notes. I no longer have legal pads everywhere. Exporting S Note notes into Evernote, I have a searchable record of everything I've written. Evernote can search handwritten notes for content. Awesome combination.

There really should be some way to link us all to an auction website so that we can pick up each other's cast-offs. Perhaps a "rewoot" category?

This is the best screen protector hands down, yes it is a finger print magnet, but a damp bath towel has cleaned it perfectly for me and I have NO SCRATCHES to date on it with spen use also!!!!! I have tried many of the major expensive brands, trust me, save your money or give it to me and buy this, I even tried tempered glass ones (i do use tempered on my phone, note 2, but that is because I paid soooo much for it and refuse to change it, so I can get my money worth, but the tempered glass has minor scratches and this cheap one does not and the quality is equal!!!

The easiest way to ROOT (at least for us)
Just load the app and press with your finger!! also use superSU not the other!!
This will void your warranty if you leave it rooted and on the device if you have to warranty the note 10.1, so remove it first if possible, and read all the other warnings, but to me a rooted android is twice the device rooted!!!

I use titanium backup (root required) and I use smooth sync for contacts and calendar so it syncs with my mac computers or IOS that I am getting rid of till crapple starts innovating, or even if they ever innovate again, this is very doubtful at this point.

Not to rain on your parade, but the Windows 8 RT is the worst possible OS. It is unable to run "normal" windows desktop programs without convoluted trickery. It is a basic web browser. Beyond that it has very limited capability.

This is a pretty solid unit overall, and competes well with the Nexus line.

I am personally waiting on one of the multitude of windows 8.1 tablets that are starting to come out.

Here is the new transformer which ships this thursday - brand new with the new Intel Atom baytrail processor, with 64 gigs of HD space and a full detachable Keyboard for only $399. Screw apps, this thing can run pretty much any program that you can run on a normal Windows PC. Now THAT is what I am talking about.

(Edit: It comes with a full version of Microsoft Office as well.)

you go buy that 64 gig thing and run that one program, if you want it to run anything more then we need 250 gig versions!!

Well, there is a MicroSD slot, so up to 64 gigs of additional memory is available via that means. There is also a micro-USB port, so just about any portable Hard-drive you own should work out of the box(as it is full windows 8.1, not some crappy Mobile O/S). There is also unlimited Cloud storage for the first year.

I'm not sure but I ordered this tablet from this a week and a half ago, and I haven't gotten a tracking, or shipping confirmation yet, and can't seem to get a response to woot customer service concerning a refund.

I bought the Note 10.1 in June and LOVE it except for one VERY frustrating issue - Citrix Receiver will not load the apps. Or at least my company's set up for Ctirix Receiver will not work correctly. Check with your IT department if you have any inclinations toward this use.

If anyone has the fix for the Citrix Receiver issue, please let me know! I am now considering selling mine for another brand (iPad? Surface?) that I know will work for this use.

I am starting online university classes and need to submit content in MS Word. I would definitely like a tablet to work on so I can take it with me and am not stuck working at home. Will this work to do research and then get my writing into a MS Word document?

So trust me, Storage space will be the LEAST of your concerns.

Its funny how you say crappy mobile os, when we had to live with crappy winblows versions for years, talk about crap.

Now we have have a great compact small os that actually works and it took them a handful of years to get to this point vs. micro crap 30 years. We have usb support also (from my posts above)!! The only thing we (android) don't have is .............. let me try to come up with something..........

Wait ..... Oh yea we have Windows RT that microcrap is trying to shove to us, but it is not going nowhere so now they are giving them away (practically) just like they do with office (they give big companies great deals on when office does not sell well) to FORCE all of to use microcrap stuff!!
But the sad part is we can not get these deals they offer the big companies. So we get shafted on.

Please people wake up, stop being drones!!!

If you don't believe me go look it up, the prof is all over the web!!!

YES the note 10.1 has bluetooth, GPS, wifi...!

Whatever you decide it is still a semi free country, its your money, buy what you want!

Yes, please read my posts above, but there are a few options and the tablet comes with polaris office, but at least get the google one just for the storage. It does take a little to get used to as do all new software, but not that long,
